4 YOU Teacher

I just wanted to say WOW! Thanks so much for your overwhelming support. I appreciate all your kind comments and congrats on my guest designer spot at MFT. It is DAY 3 of the release and I have a fun stamp set and Die-namics dies to share with you. This set is called Gift Card Greetings, and it has several images that can be used alone or with some of the other images to customize your sentiment.

My son is in 7th grade this year and has several teachers, but particularly favors his homeroom/study hall teacher. I though I would make her something special and the new Gift Card Greetings and Jumbo Christmas Stockings die-namics die was the perfect fit.

I die cut 2 layers of each Wild Cherry felt, Whip Cream felt, and Jelly Bean Green felt, then I stitched together all the layers using the blanket stitch, leaving the top open as it serves the purpose of my gift card holder. If you can look close you will notice that I added 3 seed beads to the berries for added texture.

Heather, I love your card and I too really appreciate your stitching -- especially the blanket stitch around the stocking, it just reminds me of homemade holidays! TFS, and I'm glad you won the guest spot this month!
